Map Hosting

OSMX token rewards are offered for users that host the mapping data. This is intended for commercial users as a means of reducing their licensing costs by both:

• Hosting the OSMX compass platform on their own server infrastructure

• Allowing OSMX users to access OSMX data and services

The data server docker container turns the miner machine into a mapping and GIS server providing:

Map Tile Server - Vector and image tiles for specific regions or the entire globe.

Search Service - Forward and reverse geocoding along with fuzzy text search

Telematics Service - High performance batch reverse geocoding and route fitting of GPS traces.

Route Planner - Point to point with via stop routing, live and historic traffic data sets are used for accurate travel times where available.

Route Optimiser - Comprehensive multi-vehicle fleet route optimiser and API service for distance/time matrix calculation, which also uses live and historic traffic data sets where available.

Minimum Specifications:

• Operating System: macOS, Windows (64-bit), or most Linux distributions (Red Hat, Ubuntu, and Debian supported).

• CPU: 64-bit x86_64, 8+ cores.

• Disk: SSD / NVMe (10,000 IOPS sustained – not burst or peak – or better). Minimum 1TB for the vector partition. Do not use Amazon Elastic Block Store (AWS EBS) because its latency is too high to sync reliably.

• Disk: Imagery SAS / SSD /NVMe (2000 IOPS sustained) 50TB minimum for single region hosting, ~12.5PB for all region hosting.

• RAM: 16 GB+.

Amazon EC2’s i3.2xlarge VM size may be appropriate depending on your workload. A fast network connection is preferable. Any increase in a server’s client-handling load increases resources needs.
